梁，能助我们共同跨越。这次相遇让Orson重新理解了归属感，明白了人际纽带能缓解孤独。4.A【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“Hehadcometothebridgenottoenjoytheview,buttoescapethedeadlineforaprojectheknewhecouldnotfinishontime.”可知，Orson那天下午去桥上是为了逃避项目的截止日期，也就是为了避开学业压力。故选A。5.C【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段“shetookacroissant...andofferedittohim,smilingkindly”以及最后一段她给出手机号码和宝贵的建议可推知，Elara是一个热心肠、善良且富有智慧的人。故选C。6.B【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段“Whenonespoke,theotherlistenedcarefully,withouthurryorjudgment.”可知，两人在交谈时非常真诚、专注且互相理解。故选B。7.D【解析】推理判断题。文章讲述了孤独的建筑系学生Orson在桥上偶遇善良的退休图书馆管理员Elara的故事，两人真诚交流，彼此倾听。文章结尾Elara总结道：“孤独就像下面的河水，永远流淌，但建桥不是为了阻止它，而是为了让我们能一起跨过它。”这表明人与人之间的联系与纽带能够给予人慰藉，帮助我们共同跨越并缓解内心的情感痛苦。故选D。C【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了糖果商纷纷推出巧克力含量低的新品这一现象及其背后的原因：自2023年起因恶劣天气、作物病害和非法采金而连续歉收，导致可可豆供应短缺、价格飙升至历史新高，巧克力生产成本大幅上升。为应对这一长期危机，糖果企业一方面迎合年轻消费者追求新奇口味体验的需求，另一方面通过减少巧克力用量来降低成本、规避经营风险，调整产品结构。8.D【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“They'veallhitthemarketwithinthepasttwoyears,astheworldsupplyofcocoabeans,thecorerawmaterialformakingchoco-late,hasfallen,causingpricestoskyrocket.”可知,可可豆供应减少导致巧克力价格飙升，所以公司为了降低成本而推出这些巧克力含量低的糖果。故选D。9.B【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段“Youngcon-sumershavebeenthemostcandy-hungrygroupinrecentyears.Thisgroupseeksouttastecombinations,unex-英语参考答案及解析pectedmouthfeel,andflavor‘experiences’”可知,年轻消费者追求口味组合、意外口感和风味“体验”，糖果商正是为了迎合他们而不断推出新口味。由此可推知，年轻消费者影响了口味的创新。故选B。10.B【解析】词义猜测题。根据第三段“newideasarecoretothecandybusiness”、第四段“Lesschocolatycandiesare‘certainlyaresponsetococoaprices’”以及后文西非可可豆连续减产、全球可可豆价格飙升的表述可知，糖果企业面临的双重压力分别是迎合消费者需求的创新要求和可可豆原料成本上涨的压力。故选B。11.A【解析】观点态度题。根据最后一段Polo的表述“Cocoapriceshavebecomesounstablethatbankingonchocolate-basedproductsisnowahugeriskforcan-dymakers.”以及“thecocoacrisisisalong-termthreat”和“Ifyou'reachocolateproducer,youhavetoadjustyourrangeofproducts.”可知,他认为现在继续生产巧克力类产品风险巨大，企业应调整产品结构。由此可推知，Polo对当前生产巧克力类产品持不赞成的态度。故选A。D【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。新西兰一项长期追踪显示：人到45岁时，较慢的步行速度往往伴随更快的生物衰老、更弱的握力与平衡协调，以及更小的脑容量和更低的智商。行走需要大脑统筹神经、肌肉、视觉、平衡和心血管等系统，所以步速像一面“全身镜子”，可能反映一个人的脑健康情况。12.D【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“thosewithslowerwalkingspeedstendedtoscoreloweronIQtests”以及“anaveragedifferenceofabout16IQpointsbetweentheslowestandfastestgroupsofwalkers”可知，45岁时步行更慢的人智商测试得分往往更低，最慢组与最快组平均相差约16个智商点，说明步行速度与智力水平存在关联。故选D。13.A【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段“thebrainhastocoordinatethenervoussystem,muscles,vision,balance,andtheheartandbloodsystem”和“gait(步态)speedmayactasakindof‘whole-bodyindica-tor’”可知，有效行走需要大脑协调神经、肌肉、视觉、平衡和心血管等多个系统。由此可推知，步态速度反映的是各系统协同工作的整体状态。故选A。14.D【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段“TheUSNationalInstituteonAgingsimilarlydescribedwalkingspeedasapotentiallyusefulindicatorofhowboththe

bodyandbrainareaging.”可知,美国国家老龄化研究所也用类似表述支持“步行速度可作为身体和大脑衰老指标”的观点，起到权威佐证作用，增强了研究发现的可信度。故选D。15.C【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章以新西兰长期研究为依据，核心观点是步行速度不仅与身体衰老有关，也可能反映大脑体积、认知能力和毕生的脑健康，甚至可在中年早期提供观察窗口。C项准确概括了本文主旨，最适合作文章标题。故选C。第二节【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了AI时代职场中的人类独有的优势。16.F【解析】前文提到人们担心AI会取代人类工作，随后用“However”转折，强调AI只是一个有用的工具；本空承接这一转折，应进一步说明人类不可替代的优势。F项“人类仍然拥有机器无法复制的独特优势。”既呼应了前文的转折语气，又自然引出后文对人类各项优势的逐一论述，起到了承上启下的作用。故选F。17.E【解析】前文指出在营销、设计和商业规划等领域，工作者经常面对前所未有的新问题；后文紧接着谈到“这种创造性思维推动社会前进”。因此本空需要一个将“新问题”与“创造性思维”衔接起来的句子。E项“他们需要想出新的解决方案来应对这些问题。”恰好承前启后，使前后文文意贯通。故选E。18.G【解析】本空位于段首，是该段的主旨句。后文围绕“与人沟通、团队合作、感知同事情绪、安抚愤怒的客户、建立信任”等内容展开，均与情感理解相关。G项“人类也能以机器永远无法做到的方式理解情感。”概括了本段核心内容，作为段首总领句十分恰当。故选G。19.B【解析】前文列举了人类在人际交往中的能力——感知同事情绪、安抚客户、逐步建立信任；后文则转向AI的不足——无法真正感受他人的处境。本空应承接前文，说明这些人际交往能力带来的积极效果。B项“这使得协作变得轻松而融洽。”正是对前文所述能力的自然总结，与后文形成对比。故选B。20.C【解析】前文指出AI只会遵循预设的程序规则，后文谈到当危机出现时，人类工作者能够停下来思考并选择恰当的处理方式，并强调“这种责任感是任何机器都无法拥有的”。C项“相比之下，人类能够参考答案及解析英语明辨是非。”与AI的机械执行形成鲜明对比，同时“明辨是非”与后文的“责任感”一脉相承，衔接紧密。故选C。第二部分语言运用第一节【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。六岁的利物浦小球迷Isaac虽身患罕见疾病、行走说话困难，仍坚持上学、唱歌和练吉他，不让疾病定义自己。当两位著名球星来到学校时，他原以为只是普通到访，却发现球星寻找的正是自己，并受邀担任安菲尔德(Anfield)那场比赛的特别嘉宾。通过球星的鼓励，他自信地走进球场，赢得了观众的喝彩。利物浦最终以2比0获胜，这难忘的一天也永存于Isaac心中。21.A【解析】根据本空前文“stoodoutasadevoted”以及后文“singingtheteam'ssongs”“We'relookingforabigLiverpoolfan”可知,Isaac是利物浦足球俱乐部忠实的支持者。故选A。22.B【解析】根据本空前文“Bornwithararediseasethatmadewalkingandspeakingdifficult”以及后文“at-tendingschooldaily,singingtheteam'ssongs,andpracticingtheguitar”可知,他没有让疾病定义(压垮)自己，依然正常上学、唱歌和练吉他。故选B。23.C【解析】根据本空后文“twospecialguestswouldarrive”可知，学校向学生们宣布将有两位特别的客人到来。故选C。24.C【解析】根据本空前文“twospecialguestswouldarrive”可知，此处指他认为这一次的来访与他无关，所以他埋头看书。故选C。25.D【解析】根据本空前文“Theclassroomeruptedas”可知，两位球星走进教室的那一刻全班沸腾了。故选D。26.B【解析】根据本空前文“Theclassroomerupted”可知，教室里一片兴奋喧闹，Virgil的声音穿透了这份激动。故选B。27.C【解析】根据本空后文“Isaacslowlyraisedhishand,eyesshiningwithtears”可知,他不敢相信球星竟然是来找自己的，因难以置信而颤抖。故选C。28.D【解析】根据本空前文两位球星突然出现在教室以及后文“wasforhim”可知，他这才意识到这份惊喜是给自己的。故选D。29.D【解析】根据本空前文“Onmatchday”以及后文“Sensinghisworry”可知,比赛当天恐惧几乎击垮了他。故选D。30.A【解析】根据本空前文“fearalmost29him”
